That thing is Epic, reverse headstocks on strats look so good. How much did the parts cost?
Let's see,
Neck $100
Body $30
Bridge $170
Tuners $40
Pickups $110
Misc Parts $50
Total = approx $500
This project was in, let's say,
in production for about a year, so most of the parts were spread out over time. I'm most impressed by both the body and pickups. The neck pickup was actually a bridge one i had intended to use on another guitar and never did, so it's got ALOT more output than a regular neck PAF. Both of them thus have an OBSCENE amount of balls, but still get good tone. The body, like all of the Focus series Kramers from the 80's was made by ESP in Japan, so I basically got a top shelf body, for $30. I like the neck, more than I expected, but I still like the feel of the late 80's Kramer "pointy" neck on my other Kramer/Fender hybrid a
little better. Their profiles are actually really similar, with the Kramer being thinner and wider at the nut, but both being about the same at the heel end, it's just SOO damn hard to get them with maple boards. I'm thinking of nicknaming them the "devil' and "angel" since it seems fitting, considering their looks.
^What brand guitar is that? Looks like an Ebony board. More and more companies have started using it again, which, frankly makes PRS's bullheadedness against using it in ANY of their guitars look ridiculous.
